Let me see if I got this shit straight here. We're brought here by some asshole and we're stuck until we can find the ~~Shikon Jewel~~ [There's a scribble line through the words, but it's still readable.] Piedra Roja gem, which has been broken into shards across the Seven Seas.

Am I the only one who finds this all annoyingly cliche? This is the part where someone would bitch and moan about having better things to be doing back home, but complaining isn't going to be getting anyone anywhere.

So here's the deal. I'm getting my own ship and setting sail on this bitch, anyone around port up to joining me? Yes, that would make me the Captain and that's non-negotiable. I don't care how much or how little experience you have so long as you want to find this gem as much as I do. What we don't know we can easily learn, so the only problem will be if you're a fucking douchebag who doesn't know how to take sensible orders. I know there's going to be some trust issues here, but the more people go off on their own the less likely it'll be to gather as many shards as possible. It's not like we have much of a fucking say in the matter, so anyone up for it?

And for those of you who've been here longer, any information on any progress that's been made would be appreciated.

You've got a point there. So, got it. Earth pony it is.

[If he were talking to anyone else he'd choose his words more carefully, but he's pretty damned confident she won't question how the fuck he knows so much about ponies.]

I'll just surprise you on whether it'll be a filly or a colt, how's that?

[...she's way too distracted to ask now.]

YEAH I LOVE SURPRISES! GO FOR IT MISTER STORK!

Call me Captain Di-Stri.

[Fuck, it's been a while since he's actually smiled like this. But it's hard to not smile when talking to Pinkie.]

Okie dokie lokie, Captain Di-Stri! You can call me Pinkie Pie!

[She wishes she could see it! D: Smiles are her thing! They're wondrous things that make the world go round!! It's her life! If she could live on smiles, she would!!]

[Too bad for her. Seeing him smile is very rare in itself, but at least it's almost audible in his voice.]

Cool to meet you Pinkie.

Same here! So how long does it take to make a ponybot?

I'd say two or three months, depending on a multitude of factors.

That's fine! I'll have LOTS to do while I'm waiting! I can plan a party for when it comes!

[He's going to program it to blast confetti upon it's first activation. Or every activation. Probably every, she'd like that.]

Cool. Then I'll keep you updated on that when I get a better idea of the exact time frame.

Thanks a bunch, Captain Di-Stri! I'll make you something super special!

No probs. If you want, I can make you a doll in the meantime while you wait.

Nah, that's alright! I'm a little too old for dolls, but maybe you can make one for the ponybot!
